Patrick Mahomes’ Grieving Mom’s 2-Word Powerful Message as FOX’s Tom Brady & Michael Strahan Also Shake Off Monday Blues

Mondays usually bring a struggle to shake off weekend vibes for us. But for Randi Mahomes and other NFL players, this Monday became a time for reflection on life’s highs and lows. We see through the lens of their social media. While Randi was deeply emotional, capturing a personal moment of love and loss, Brady flaunted his post-NFL glow-up with a fishing trip flex that had fans smiling. This tells fans that life is about embracing every emotion, from the heavy moments that tug at the heart to the simple joys that can comfort an ordinary day.

Randi Mahomes, mother of Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes, took to Instagram with a touching tribute to her late father. She hit us right in the feels with a beautiful tribute to her dad, One of her photos is super powerful—just Randi holding her dad’s hand. No fancy setup, no filters. It’s one of those quiet moments that says everything without needing any words. It was about the love, memories, and that peaceful goodbye we all hope for. In the post, we also saw Randi’s dad is right where he belongs; surrounded by family, including Patrick Mahomes, who’s flashing his signature smile. There was so much love and warmth, and you could practically hear the chatter and laughter in the background.

Randi’s cheek-to-cheek with her dad, both grinning; her bright smile, and his classic checkered shirt will all be remembered. With her caption that ties it all together, “Hard to find the words of holding my father’s hand as he goes to Heaven. I know he’s in a better place. I love you Daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant!”—from Matthew 25:23. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a perfect reminder of what truly matters. This reflects not just the loss of a father, but also the love shared by his family that he left behind. Many fans shared their condolences, saying, “difficult to lose the presence of those whose presence you’ve always known.

While Randi Mahomes’ post stood out for its emotional weight and its simplicity, Tom Brady was serving a different kind of Monday energy over at FOX. The NFL legend turned broadcaster came up with his own “Happy Monday” post, with positive vibes. This is our GOAT showing us how to shake off the Monday blues. With a sense of balance, a reminder that Mondays are what you make them.

Brady wasn’t alone. He had Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who joined the “Happy Monday” train in her gym attire. Known for her Chiefs’ spirit and social media flair, Gracie’s post was all about gym motivation and Chiefs pride. Her upbeat energy was a different vibe from Randi’s reflective tone and Brady’s laid-back approach.

Meanwhile, Michael Strahan kick started his week with some serious Monday Motivation on Instagram. Reminding everyone with the caption: “Success is not for the chosen few; it’s for the few who choose.” Indeed, this took us back to the classic Strahan confidence we once saw him on the field with. And a sharp tie, of course. He’s telling us to stop waiting for the stars to align and start making moves. It’s like he’s saying, Get off the sidelines and get in the game!

In a world of endless scrolling and superficial posts, Randi’s heartfelt message cut through with raw authenticity. Not to forget, Tom Brady’s cool head, Gracie Hunt’s spirit, and Michael Strahan’s wisdom. They all added their flavors to the day with a bit of everything; heart, hype, and a dose of inspiration. In other words, there’s a Monday mood for everyone.
